38 NPA rebels killed in EMC area-of-operations since January

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 15): 38 NPA rebels killed in EMC area-of-operations since January

Thirty-eight New People's Army (NPA) rebels were killed by Eastern Mindanao Command troopers in the first five and half months of the year.

This was disclosed by Capt. Alberto Caber in statement forwarded to the PNA Monday.

"As of June 14, 2015, there were 38 NPA bandits killed while 72 high-powered firearms were recovered (during) encounters with security forces in Eastern Mindanao since January 1, 2015," he added.

Military success can be attributed to closer coordination with civilian communities and intensified patrol work.

This figures include the three NPA rebels killed during an encounter with troopers from the 69th Infantry Battalion in Purok 7, Barangay Paradise Embac, Paquibato District, Davao City Sunday early morning.

The clash took place at 12: 05 a.m.

Also recovered were an M-14 automatic rifle, and two unexploded improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and several backpacks.

No losses were reported among government security forces.
